I had a Covid test the other day. I was having some cold symptoms over the weekend and thought I'd better get tested. Negative! That's what I expected, but it's best to have it confirmed. LA County has things set up now so that I was able to get an appointment quickly, free, and nearby. It went very smoothly. I REALLY like the idea of FREE and frequent testing.

I am going blind. This morning I am having the worst time focusing and reading words on the computer screen. I see my ophthalmologist for the first time in over 18 months on Monday, and that will be interesting.

Are you having floaters? I was trying to figure out why the vision in my right eye was so blurry after the procedure to correct that eye and I think it's due to my floaters. When I take the little pellets (tiny pills) that reduce the floaters the vision in that eye becomes clearer, too. Glad you're seeing the ophthalmologist. Vibes it clears soon.

HA! Good morning.

I am going over to my uncle's house with my sister this morning. He has been in the hospital since Saturday - he had an ulcer flare up and he was dehydrated.....but he is improving and will be coming home today or tomorrow.

I am going to add my sister's phone number and my cousins phone number into his landline so that he can speed dial them.

I downloaded the instructions from the inner web, and I have done this once before. So I am hoping I can get it done.

Vibes for Jrand's uncle.

The electricians have come and gone. I survived three waking hours without internet. I felt quite lost.

Groan. I am glad it is done with and hope they did the work correctly. It would be a shame if they have to return.

The video of Wilshire Blvd is interesting. I confess I don't remember much from 1951, but BK, older and wiser, would. It would not surprise me to find that HE took that footage.

What a sad, sad story, DR Jrand71.

Good news it was negative. Is it the quick test or did you have to wait for the results?

Jane · « **Reply #70 on:** October 07, 2021, 03:35:48 PM »

DR Jrand did JOSEPH get covid again?

singdaw · « **Reply #71 on:** October 07, 2021, 06:17:12 PM »

Good night, friends.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** October 07, 2021, 06:19:01 PM »

Good night DR Singdaw.

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** October 07, 2021, 06:38:21 PM »

It is quiet here.

Keith is popping corn.

John G, have you hit pre-retirement mode?

I wish. But I won't be able to afford to retire for a few more years. I can't even withdraw from my accounts without penalty for another half-year. Not that I need to do that.

John G. · « **Reply #77 on:** October 07, 2021, 07:54:07 PM »

But I have become lazy.

John G. · « **Reply #78 on:** October 07, 2021, 07:54:19 PM »

And I need to do something about that.

John G. · « **Reply #79 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:00:17 PM »

Sitting on my talents all day doesn't help me get enough exercise, even with the dancing.

John G. · « **Reply #80 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:00:37 PM »

So, I went to a covid Don Giovanni tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:00:56 PM »

There was a cast of about 10, all with fine voices.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:01:23 PM »

The score was reduced by half to about 90 minutes of action, which caused everything to flow quickly.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:01:47 PM »

The top arias were there, and the audience was vocally appreciative.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:02:32 PM »

But there was no orchestra. I don't know if it's because the symphony is on strike or if the budget only allowed for a pianist. The music conductor also played harpsichord.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:03:43 PM »

Again, the audience loved it.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:03:56 PM »

I just felt like it was opera on a dime.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:04:29 PM »

There were only about 600 people in attendance.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:04:44 PM »

I hope they have a better crowd on Saturday.

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** October 07, 2021, 08:04:53 PM »

Let's move on ...
